Solution Type Problem Resolution Sure Solution 1011862.1 : Sun Enterprise[TM] 3x00 - 6x00 POST hangs solid during I/O board testing, SOC SRAM Test
PreviouslyPublishedAs 216246 Symptoms Description: After installing a new Type 4 I/O board 501-4883-0x, if POST hangs solid during I/O board testing phase and last message outputted to the console is " 0,0> SOC SRAM Test " then the (new) current board under test has a firmware issue. Two possible causes: 1. If the I/O type 4 board under test ipost revision is 3.4.6 1998 / 04/16 14:22 or lower, and the OBP master CPU/MEM board level is 3.2.21 or greater. 2. If the I/O type 4 board under test has been flashed-updated with the wrong firmware. Example: I/O Type-1 FCODE Resolution Solution In both cases above the new I/O boards should be good and are only in need of flashprom update. But to remedy this situation in the field you will need another functional I/O type 4 board 501-4883 with ipost revision 3.4.8 or greater. The system must have an open slot to insert the I/O board to be re-flashed, also check to ensure that an adjacent PCM (Power Cooling Module) is installed. If a functional I/O type 4 board is available, install it and remove I/O board with the firmware issue from the machine. Following procedure from Sun System Handbook , http://infoserver.central/syshbk/General/Exx00_Flash.html 1.Connect to Serial Port A at 9600 baud, 8-bit, no parity, 1 stop bit. 2.Disconnect the board with corrupted/wrong/down-level code from the backplane. 3.Install the known good board in any available slot. <---- check for adjacent PCM 4.Turn the keyswitch to On. 5.Wait 15 seconds and press " s " to enter Extended POST. <---- to stop at the POST menu, look for *** Toggle Stop Flag = 1 *** 6.Select f for fcopy from the Extended POST Menus. 7.Insert the board with corrupted/wrong/down-level code into the backplane "hot" and check the board power LED, it should be on. 8.Select 4 for "Activate System Board" and follow the prompts. 9.Select 1 to copy the code and follow the prompts. <-------- (asks for "from" and "to" board location in hexadecimal) 10.Turn the keyswitch to Standby.
